FARRAGUT (WATE) – A Farragut High School student was suspended for a day, all over a chicken nugget that school officials alleged he had stolen.

Senior Carson Koller said the lunch amounts are portioned out and on Monday students were offered five chicken nuggets in a tub. He said he was feeling extra hungry and put a sixth chicken nugget in his tub, taken from another tub.

When the cafeteria worker on the cash register noticed the extra nugget, Koller said he was informed that he had to pay for an extra lunch which he said he did. When he went to leave the lunch line, he was taken to the principal’s office.

The principal said he would have to be suspended for a day due to theft of property. Koller said part of the confusion was his fault because he was nervous and didn’t mention that he had paid for the extra chicken nugget.

“It’s honestly kind of funny. It was partially on me, kind of mostly on me. At the same time it was like, ‘Really, you couldn’t have just given me a warning?'” said Koller.

Koller’s mother, Carrie Koller Waller, emailed the principal and posted a long message on Facebook saying she was outraged her son, an Eagle Scout and member of the band, over something she said was so trivial.

“I am shaking my head over this and not sure what to do….laugh, punish, argue, dress him up as a nugget bandit, or let it go. Does the suspension matter on his records?” she said in the post.

She also shared a screenshot of Koller’s account, showing he had actually been charged three times for lunch, the third time presumably when school officials thought he had stolen the nugget.

Eventually, Koller says the school apologized saying they didn’t have the full story, lifted Koller’s suspension and removed it from his permanent record. Koller ended up only missing part of one class.

“They said, ‘Do you have anything to take away from this?’ I said, ‘You know, I just have to advocate for myself sometimes.’ Was nervous, first time I had ever been in that situation,” said Koller.

Should have gotten 3 days. This extra nugget thing needs to stop.

 

[Kyle93]

why didn't he just buy 2 tubs if he had to pay extra for the single nugget?

 

[yubbers]

what a *****

 

[MetalheadPenguinsFan]

Shoulda been expelled

I could not agree more. Young Rutiger needs to taught a lesson.

Im not sure I see the issue here.

First of all, is it actually true?

Second, if everything he said is actually 100% accurate, and he got shaken down like that for taking 1 nugget (All that over 1 nugget? I'm skeptical.), then it really isn't that big a deal. He's right, he should have advocated for himself and said he didn't steal anything. If he went into the principals office and admitted to stealing why WOULDN'T he be suspended?

Any if he was paying for 2 meals why wouldn't he just take two meals? The kids story is full of holes.

As others have said he should have just bought the 2 tubs.

 

[dogbazinho]

Seems to me he got caught steeling, paid, then got expelled. Should have him arrested.

There's your problem. Kid's mom teaches him that getting caught stealing is trivial. Kid thinks stealing is trivial. Mom and kid are confused when school does not think stealing is trivial.

Yes, he paid for the extra lunch and it sounds like the administration wasn't made aware of that when they handed down the suspension.

But the full story here is:
Kid decides to steal food --> Gets caught --> Pays for food --> Gets suspended

NOT
Kid buys food --> Gets suspended


The fact that the family thinks the second description is accurate is the fundamental problem here. You get caught stealing anywhere OTHER than a school, they don't just "give you a warning" and let you pay for the item. Instead you get detained by the store owner until the cops show up, charged with theft, and mom places bail to get you home.
